Archive source tweets as markdown with screenshots #77

Description

Problem

Source tweets are ephemeral - accounts can be deleted, banned, or the platform may change. X already blocks automated fetching.

Proposal

Archive key tweets as markdown with YAML frontmatter + screenshots:

Frontmatter:

Scope

Only key tweets:

  • Puzzle announcements
  • Key/passphrase reveals
  • Hints from authors

Do not archive all mentions/comments.

Considerations

  • Git LFS for images?
  • Copyright for screenshots
  • Directory structure: per collection vs centralized
